Education Data 101

The Data Quality Campaign has released Education Data 101, a primer on the most important concepts and research related to education data. The purpose of this publication is to bring policymakers up to speed, but it also provides a nice summary of talking points for anyone involved in education.

Teachers must be equipped with the skills to understand and use data effectively.

For each, authors provide a basic overview of the topic, a description of why it matters, the “state of play” on the latest progress states and others have made in that area, recommendations of action to take, and additional resources to help build understanding.
